Chapter 808 How about I stay here and watch over you tonight?

Qin Jiangye: "?"

A look of surprise flashed in Qin Jiangye's eyes.

Unexpectedly, he came to ask again.

"Don't try to fool me with the answers from last time," Director Ning said before he could speak.

"What are you talking about? When have I ever lied to you?" Qin Jiangye maintained his casual attitude. "Are you so angry because my artist caused trouble?"

Director Ning was about to speak.

Then I remembered the hush money Huo Sinian had given me.

Although he's currently an actor in his production crew, he's still the president of the Huo Group, and recently his foray into the entertainment industry has caused quite a stir. If he were to be sold out, what if he were targeted later...?

"Or is it Huo Sinian who caused the trouble, and you can't afford to offend him, so you're blaming my artist?" Qin Jiangye said casually, completely unconcerned.

Director Ning: "Stop talking about this."

Qin Jiangye: "Then you should explain the situation clearly."

Director Ning: "He went to the hospital with Lin Tan."

Someone saw this.

It's easy to check.

His statement doesn't count as leaking secrets.

"The hospital?" Qin Jiangye was unaware of the situation.

"Lin Tan fell, and Huo Sinian took her to the hospital." Director Ning said to him without him even realizing it, "If the two of them have nothing to do with each other, why would he accompany her alone?"

"You'll have to ask President Huo," Qin Jiangye said casually. "I'm not a mind reader."

Director Ning stopped himself from saying what he was about to say.

There are clearly many suspicious points.

Unfortunately, the biggest point of contention cannot be discussed.

We still can't ask Lin Tan, the person involved.

"I haven't even told you about the time my artist fell on set."

"It wasn't from falling while filming."

"oh."

"Oh what?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's a bit strange that Director Ning called just to talk to me about this."

Director Ning paused for a moment.

I realized that I had indeed acted impulsively.

Fearing it would affect the filming schedule, they resorted to desperate measures.

"Never mind if you don't know." He hung up after saying that, not giving Qin Jiangye a chance to figure out the details.

Qin Jiangye was already suspicious.

Secretary Qin, who was driving, overheard their entire conversation and simply asked, "Should we investigate?"

Qin Jiangye: "How long will the investigation take?"

Secretary Qin: "One or two hours."

Qin Jiangye: "Investigate."

It was one thing to ask the first time, but to ask the same thing again, and so urgently at that, was unacceptable.

He didn't believe a word that there was nothing inside.

Half an hour later.

Secretary Qin had someone investigate the matter and obtain the results, which were then communicated to Qin Jiangye.

"Postponed for a month?" Qin Jiangye was surprised by this.

"Yes." Secretary Qin had investigated thoroughly. "Director Ning has already spoken with the actors, and a formal notification will be issued by tomorrow at the latest."

Qin Jiangye pondered the matter, seemingly too lazy to think about it, and simply passed it on: "I'll leave this to you. You talk to Lin Tan."

Filming was postponed for a month due to reasons related to the production crew.

Old Ning suddenly called to ask what had happened between Huo Sinian and Lin Tan.

Lin Tan was injured in a fall.

These things are getting stranger and stranger.

After sending Qin Jiangye home, Secretary Qin contacted Lin Tan.

Lin Tan was still in the room watching Xiao Feng help her pack her things.

Because her hands were immobilized, there were many things she couldn't do.

"Sister Lin Tan, don't move, I'll pack it." Xiao Feng hurriedly stopped her when she saw her putting things into the suitcase with one hand. "Don't forget I'm your assistant, it's my job to pack these things for you."

"Thank you for your help." Lin Tan was still very polite to her.

The phone rang the next second.

She picked it up and saw the message that Secretary Qin had sent her.

—【Come to the office tomorrow when you get back; I need to talk to you about something.】

Lin Tan replied with an "okay".

I'm afraid the news that the film crew has postponed filming by a month has already reached the company.

Half an hour later.

Xiao Feng packed up most of the things, leaving only a few toiletries outside.

"Alright." Xiao Feng neatly put everything away. "I'll go downstairs now. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

Lin Tan: "Okay."

Xiao Feng took a few steps and looked at her arm, which was still in a sling, with worry in her eyes: "Are you sure your arm is okay? Should I stay here and watch over you tonight?"

"It's nothing," Lin Tan smiled slightly. "Just a minor injury."

“Okay.” Xiao Feng didn’t say anything more. “Yun Ting and I are downstairs. Call us if you need anything.”

Lin Tan hummed in agreement.

Not long after.

She was the only one left in the room.

When she was busy, she didn't think about it much, but now that she has some free time, everything from before keeps popping into her mind: Huo Sinian inexplicably appearing in her room, the game he mentioned...

Thinking about all this, my body, which had finally warmed up, gradually grew cold again.

If Huo Sinian intended to make things difficult for her, even with Qin Mo protecting her, it would be hard. After all, Qin Mo couldn't have too much open contact with her; if they did, Madam Yu would interfere.

Thinking this way.

I only felt that the road ahead would be extremely difficult.

"Knock knock".

Two soft knocks on the door.

Lin Tan subconsciously looked at the smart peephole and saw Huo Sinian standing alone outside the door, still wearing the same gray custom-made suit, and his glasses made it impossible to see the look in his eyes.

She didn't open the door; instead, she locked it from the inside.

She remembered his unexpected appearance in her room the moment she locked the door.

That's what I was thinking.

The sound of a room card being tapped onto the door lock could be heard from outside.

Two seconds later, the locked room was opened from the outside.

"Since you're at the door, why don't you open it?" Huo Sinian opened the door and walked in, without trying to hide at all.

Lin Tan learned from this incident that he had a master key to the hotel room.

She didn't question or get angry; the injury to her arm had already taught her a lesson. She was lucky this time that the director was busy, but she knew she wouldn't be so lucky next time.

"Are you mute?" Huo Sinian walked step by step to her, repeating what he had said in the car, "Or do you want me to kiss you?"

"How did you get my room key?" Lin Tan asked.

Huo Sinian: "I asked someone for it."

Lin Tan: "The front desk?"

Huo Sinian: "Manager."

Lin Tan didn't say anything more.

They realized that the hotel was either owned by the Huo Group or run by someone with good relations with Huo Sinian.

"How's your hand?" Huo Sinian closed the door and locked it from the inside.

Lin Tan watched this scene, feeling nothing but a growing chill in her heart.

She didn't have her phone with her.

Because she knew that even with both hands intact, she was no match for him, let alone now that she had one hand that she couldn't move.

They didn't call anyone.

She knew that asking for help wouldn't bring her any good results.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Huo. Everything is fine now." She was very polite, treating him as a complete stranger, and her gaze towards him was devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Do you like talking like that?" Huo Sinian approached her step by step, finally pulling her into his arms and sitting her down on the sofa. "Since you're alright now, you probably don't feel any pain anymore."

Lin Tan stood up as if she had been electrocuted.

Huo Sinian easily pushed her back down again.

The difference in strength between the two was too great, and Lin Tan didn't even have a chance to resist.
